Fewer than two weeks out from the 2024-25 NBA trade deadline, the leading candidates to land elsewhere are widely known: Jimmy Butler, Bradley Beal, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, as well as a handful of others.

The Brooklyn Nets, who are in the midst of a rebuilding process, made trades in December with the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers -- two teams led by future Hall of Famers hoping to make one last run at the NBA Finals.

Do the Lakers and Warriors owe it to LeBron James and Stephen Curry to trade away a distant first-round pick to give them a better shot at winning a fifth championship?

The trade deadline is fast approaching and the Cleveland Cavaliers have a major decision to make. With the team posting a 36-6 record, as the hottest team in the NBA, it would be the best move to retain the same roster heading towards the playoffs.
